Europe trip (Rome. Italy) (Second half of 11th day)

This is one of my most wanted place to visit in. Rome! I've learned and seen some of the buildings here in textbooks and so it increased my excitement when we reached the train station. Upon reaching, Rome gave me an impression of a busy city. Of course, as it's Italy's capital city and also the country's largest and most populated city! We found our hotel easily.

Part of the city.
It was nearing dusk after we put our luggages. After that, we started our journey after asking some guidance from the receptionist.
I don't know what is this building called. Still it was magnificent with a tall tower in front of it. You can see many of great buildings and yet you don't know the name.
More buildings in Rome. Expensive cars can be seen almost everywhere.
We were actually walking towards the direction of the world famous Colosseum. My top list of to-see buildings in life! When i saw it from the distance, i couldn't help pinching myself to check whether i was in a dream or not. The sight of the Colosseum even from far literally caught my breath away. I couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

one of the hundreds pictures i took of the Colosseum.
i've touched the Colosseum! Lol!
Beyond that is the Lost World. We didn't go in though.
We hung out around the Colosseum until night fell. After that, we loitered around Rome to check out some shops and supermarkets. Rather interesting. Bought some home souvenirs. Stayed until quite late and then we headed towards the hotel.
